Tinley Completes Facility Retrofits and Provides Corporate Update

C.TNY

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. and TORONTO, Jan. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. (the “Company" or "Tinley") (CSE:TNY)(OTC:QRSRF) is pleased to provide an update to the market on the progress of executing on its business plan.

Tinley ’27 Cannabis Drinks Launch

The Company has been engaged in a search for a facility in California to house its Phase I bottling line.  The Phase I Bottling Facility will be used to produce and bottle its line of THC infused beverages, Tinley ’27 and Tinley Cocktails, until the Company completes a build of its long-term, full-scale bottling plant. The Phase I facility will also be used to provide co-packing services for third-party beverage producers. Tinley has identified a facility in Riverside County, California, and this facility has now completed retrofits requested by the municipality, including those requested by Tinley to accommodate Tinley’s bottling equipment. The facility is awaiting what it believes to be its final municipal inspection to allow production of various products, including Tinley’s beverages. The Company has agreed, in principle, to all material terms to house the Phase I bottling equipment and intends to enter a binding agreement with the facility, contingent upon it receiving its permit. At such time, Tinley intends to commence immediate filling operations, and expects production of the initial products to take 2-3 weeks to complete. Initial products include the Tinley Margarita and the Tinley ’27 Coconut Rum.

Increased Cash Position

The Company currently has approximately $4.6 million in cash and liquid securities, representing an increase of approximately $800,000 from the total accessible cash of approximately $3.8 million reported in the Company’s last quarterly release on September 30, 2017. The Company feels this is sufficient capital for producing the Tinley ’27 batches planned for its temporary facility, bringing its long-term bottling facility into operation, marketing and working capital.

Cole Memo Retraction

The Company has reviewed its operating plan as a result of the United States Department of Justice’s recent rescission of the Cole Memo. The Company notes that the Cole Memo was not law, but rather a clarification of federal enforcement priorities as they relate to State cannabis programs. Accordingly, the Company intends to operate in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Cole Memo to mitigate its risk of federal intervention. The Company also notes that the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer amendment has been renewed as part of the bill signed yesterday evening to end the US Government shutdown. This amendment prevents funds made available to the Department of Justice from being used to prevent States from implementing their own cannabis laws.  As a result, the Company is proceeding with the launch of its Tinley ’27 cannabis beverages as planned. 

Further, the Company does not believe that the Cole Memo retraction impacts its Hemplify CBD products as these products are manufactured with extract from imported industrial hemp rather than forms of cannabis governed by the Controlled Substances Act. 

Updated Hemplify Products

The Company is in the final stages of producing updated versions of its Hemplify CBD drinks, including a new lemon-lime flavor and an updated mixed berry flavor. All three flavors will be available in newly-designed packaging, and the Company intends to roll them out in all 100+ stores where Hemplify is currently available towards the end of the month. The newly-designed Hemplify packaging includes the “Tinley Tonics” brand, which is designed to maximize cross-branding between the mainstream stores where Hemplify is available and the cannabis dispensaries where both Hemplify and the upcoming Tinley ’27 cannabis products are expected to be available.
